First, a small slice of the sweet watermelon was consumed, followed by some bread with the salty white cheese. A true culinary oddity, it all worked together in a perfect melody of taste and texture. The watermelon cut the saltiness of the cheese, which in turn acted as the perfect compliment to the sweet fruit.

The first time I travelled to Greece I discovered the wonderful combination of watermelon and feta cheese. Delicious. Didn’t know they had a similar tradition in Jordan, although given its geogrphic position, it makes sense.
